The Heart's Content, Inc. was established in 1976. Over three decades, Maureen Appleton has solely designed employing her "one-over-one" linen stitch technique. Great clarity and detail is derived from this method, and continues to addict stitchers worldwide for thirty years. In 1996 Maureen was honored to become the sole US distributor of the Scottish imported Glenshee linen. Such a premium linen on which to create our heirlooms, it was the greatest asset to incorporate The Linen Emporium. A great majority of Maureen's designs are created on this fine quality and precisely woven linen. Comprehensive, award winning, offerings abound.
The Silver Lining designs are made with full stitches in case you would like to stitch them "one over one" or as a needlepoint project. I also design using both DMC and Anchor for a better picture! Stitched over two most of them will be large so keep that in mind. I have recently made several trips to Europe in search of interesting things to design and some will come soon, from Castles and lighthouses as well as landmarks! I hope you have as much fun stitching as I have designing them!

Needlework Designs has designs for the beginner to advanced stitcher. I use more colors instead of partial stitches to creat the shading in the botanicals and lighthouses. The Celtic designs take advantage of hand dyed verigated threads to achive the finished look. This means that each piece will be unique. The canvas designs have a limited number of specialty stitches using a variety of thread to create each look. This also makes them easier to. If beads are used in the design, they are included with the pattern. I hope you enjooy stitching my designs.
